Field bank
Running north-south for 12 m this dry stone and turf dyke turns to the west and runs parallel to the canalised burn that runs west from Loch Liuravat through the crofts to the coast. The wall sits on a distinct revetment as it runs west to the croft boundary, and may well represent some type of flood protection for the crofts cultivable land.
